Waited all afternoon for the ****ing UPS guy to show up only to have him drive by in his big ass truck without stopping. I called up to find out why and appearently there was some error with the label that didn't specifiy the exact apartment number. The guy knows me though and it still said 3 instead of the normal 3N that it does. So weird that he didn't just drop it off for me. I went to go pick it up last night and the guy at the customer service place decided to leave early so I have to pick it up today. grrr
I could have been sleeping instead of waiting for that douche nozzle yesterday afternoon.

He was suspicious of him because he was black/wearing a hoodie in his neighborhood. I didn't say anything about him just running up and shooting him.

I'd like you to go further but I think you need to dig a bit deeper and understand why that happens. They are disenfranchised by a system that is meant to help them get out of the current situation they are in.

I do know about this first hand. I always bring it up in our meetings that our community group is around to try to help them, help themselves but if their mentality doesn't change then they aren't going to think that anything can be done and they won't help themselves. It is a community effort and we aren't just trying to give people hand outs, we are trying to give them a leg up but if they don't change their way of thinking and extend their leg for us to even help then it's pointless. So you are preaching to the choir with that believe me I know first hand.

"I'm not racist because I know some black people"
it's not really but I just like posting that kid.
You can lump the poor whites into that discussion when you are talking about urban culture. They have the same mentality/mind set as everyone else that lives in poor inner city areas.

I agree and talked about this earlier.
